DD: Would you say the Wii U is shaping up to be an ideal platform for both newcomers and existing indie devs, especially with the existence of mobile platforms?BR: Yes and no. Console development requires more effort than iPhone development. The QA by the platform holders is very strict. The hardware requires a lot of knowledge and experience. I think the Wii U will offer a couple of indie developers a good home. Just like the PS3 was a great platform for a couple of indies and WiiWare was for others, the Wii U will have its own group of dedicated indie developers. It's easier to work with the Wii U than it was with the Wii or the PS3 though, so that group might grow rather fast.

Interesting mention near the end about not necessarily staying exclusive to the Wii U.
